Built-up films of L-a-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethanolamine were prepared. Infrared dichroism was measured for the sample and analysed by a new method. This method has been developed for the determination of the directions of transition moments in a film sample, in which there is an axis of symmetry

Abstract
Infrared dichroic studies and deuterium exchange measurements of somatostatin and some of its analogs incorporated in uniaxially oriented polyoxyethylene are described. Band positions and dichroic ratios in the NβH stretching and amide I and II regions are similar to those of flexible and nonordered peptides like valinomycin and poly[Glu(ONa)]. This information, together with fast deuterium exchange rates, suggests that somatostatin exists in a flexible nonordered conformation in polyoxyethylene. One analog, diβS^3,14^βacetamidomethyl dihydrosomatostatin, was found to exist in both nonordered and Ξ²βlike conformations.
